And tenoning machine



,j i Be it knownlthat I, ELIHU e thetown of Montville, county of New Lon l don, State of Connecticut, haveinvented a 'j new and useful` Improvement on a Machine `To all whom t Mag/concern yfor" Mortising, Tenoning, .Sawingf and i i Smoothing; and I` dohereby declare Vthat `l the following `is a full and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawingsand tothe letters `of reference fnarked thereon".` M

The" nature of my invention vconsists in `the combination of `certain tools used by carpenters in the manufacture of doors, sash, 'and blinds, in such ajmanner as to remove the greatdiicultyand delay or loss of time `,occasioned byl continually removing from onemachine to anotheryand also the addij tionallabor of removingthe lumber calcu* Mting `tenons ononeside,marked, 12th L, On

the `other ua plane iron` for smoothing the i `ends of boards, marked, 1l, K. Near the center of the slide frame "and fasten a saw, whichis so fastened by nuts or screws as i to `be setto saw todiierent widths as may be convenient. This sawis attached to a i rod marked F, to which is applied a hand wheelfor tension, byj which the saw may be `reversed or turnedout ofthe way when `using other` parts ofthe machine and' is confined to the `designed place by a set screw in the sockets `wherein the `rod is i placed as `shown inthe accompanying drawing. Near the sawis placed a chisel, which `is attached tol a rod marked G, by a set screw ,i and holder into `which the chisel is inserted. To this rod G `is fastened a hand wheel for .i turning the chisel.` When using the chisel STREET, of,

`should `be used in the `same manner. `slide frame or sawgate b, is at- N UNITEDSTAWENT OFFICE. i

the saw should be reversed or turned out of theway. When using the saw the chisel should beremoved or raised upward and fastened by "one ofthe set screws. When using rthesmoothing planeV the boards should be run forcibly against it. They will thenbe squared and smoothed or jointed at the same time. The part for tenoning tached to the shaft or' crank cl, above, by couplings or joints, as .may be seen in the drawings, to which I apply a fly wheel, 3 0,

also a counterweight 5 @,6, to balance slide frame and also act as drivingpower when set inparticularfposition on the fly wheel C when the machine is in motion, and the counterweight so adjusted.

The difficulty 'in the motion of the machine, which would arise from the chisel coming in contact with the wood, is removed on the stationary frame at j, j. I fasten movable stops, by nuts and bolts, for holding down thelumber for use. In front of the bench I fasten hand wheel h, which is attached toa gage h, by a rod with a screw at the end thereof, the rod running through the bench and is thus connected to the gage h (which is moved backward and forward by said screw when turning the wheel. The said gage to be used when mortising or sawing). `Below is a footstep 'i with rods attached to slide frame on which the foot is set, which, being pressed downward, the

`machine is put in motion.

What I claim as my invention and desire to `secure by Letters Patent is The improvement on a machine for mortising, tenoning, sawing, and smoothin by combining certain tools together, use by carpenters in the manufacture of doors, sash, and blinds, as herein described.
